T3/B Semi-Hollowbody with Bigsby Electric Guitar

short description is not available

Inspired by both the T5 and the SolidBody, Taylor takes the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applies signature Taylor design touches to the T3/B. Electronics include Taylor's high-fidelity full-size Vintage Alnico humbuckers, blended with a unique coil-splitting application to give players killer humbucker and single-coil sounds in one guitar. The T3/B features a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece paired with a metal roller bridge for a high-performance vibrato bar without the pitch issues. Includes hardshell case. The HD (high definition) humbuckers reflect two Taylor design developments. Theyve altered the focus and direction of the magnetic flux with a new type of magnet and brewed up a secret recipe for the windings. This results in pickups that produce the sweet sound of vintage humbuckers with increased dynamic range and output. The T3 incorporates enhanced electronics that include coil-splitting activated by pulling up the volume control. Taylor designer David Hosler talked about the thinking that went into the tone control circuit. "Many guitarists have learned not to expect much from a tone control. We decided to do something to make it useful. When pulled up, the T3s tone control adds a second capacitor to the circuit creating a quasi-parametric sweep throughout the range of the control. Players can use the boosted mids to add a little warmth to the single-coil or mellow out the humbuckers for an even jazzier tone without squashing it into a muddy sound."Body Body shape: Single cutaway Body type: Semi-hollow or chambered body Body material: Solid wood Top wood: Maple Figured Body wood: Sapele Body finish: Gloss Orientation: Right handed Neck Neck shape: C shallow Neck wood: Sapele Joint: Set-in Scale length: 24.86" Truss rod: Standard Neck finish: Gloss Fretboard Material: Ebony Radius: 12" Fret size: Medium jumbo Number of frets: 21 Inlays: Dot Nut width: 1.687" (42.8mm) Pickups Configuration: HH Neck: HD humbucker Middle: Not applicable Bridge: HD humbucker Brand: Taylor Active or passive: Passive Series or parallel: Series Piezo: No Active EQ: No Special electronics: Volume control with coil split Controls Control layout: Master volume, tone Pickup switch: 3-way Coil tap or split: Coil split Kill switch: No Hardware Bridge type: Tremolo/Vibrato Bridge design: 6-saddle roller Tailpiece: Bigsby Tuning machines: Taylor nickel Color: Chrome Other Number of strings: 6-string Special features: Pickups Case: Hardshell case Accessories: None Country of origin: United States
